Table 8.

Time-dependent detector count rate thresholds for a 250 mSv effective dose for different 192Ir inhalation and ingestion exposure scenarios relative to corresponding values for a reference inhalation exposure for a 1-µm ANTAD Type M aerosol. All values are taken for the Ludlum 12S survey meter screening an adult female subject in the AP (chest or abdomen) position at 200 cm.
